![]() Seemingly coming out of nowhere with her powerful debut EP Thrush Metal, she has instantly becoming one of Australia’s most talked about new acts. Rising star Stella Donnelly will join John Butler and Missy Higgins at all shows (except Margaret River and Albany). “I HAVE GREAT MEMORIES OF ALL THOSE GIGS I DID WITH HIM WHEN I WAS FIRST STARTING OUT AND IT WILL BE GREAT TO PLAY SOME REALLY SPECIAL VENUES TOGETHER AGAIN AFTER ALL THESE YEARS.” “IT WILL BE SO GOOD TO GET OUT OF THE HOUSE AND GET BACK ON THE ROAD ALONGSIDE JOHN AND HIS BAND”, SAID MISSY. She’ll of course be bringing the classics too - ‘Scar’, ‘The Special Two’, ‘Where I Stood’, ‘Steer’, ‘Unashamed Desire’, ‘Everyone’s Waiting’, and most recent hit, ‘Futon Couch’ - the songs that have sold more than a million albums in Australia alone, earned her 23 ARIA Award nominations, and seen her support superstar Ed Sheeran on his recent stadium tour. ![]() John Butler Trio has expanded to a five piece band for the duration of the Coming Home Tour, hence the name JBT+, taking the John Butler Trio live experience to a whole new level.Īfter the top 5 success of her recent album Solastalgia (out now through EMI) and the birth of a baby girl just last month, Missy Higgins will bring her stunning new material to the stage alongside her long time musical compadre John and his new five piece band. “THIS ALBUM TOUCHES ON THE ANXIETIES AND DEMONS I’VE BEEN GRAPPLING WITH SINCE THE LAST ALBUM, BUT IT’S ALSO FULL OF JOY, HOPE AND REDEMPTION, AND I’M LOOKING FORWARD TO CONVEYING THE STORIES AND PASSION OF ALL OF THIS JOURNEY ONE ON ONE LIVE WITH FANS.” THIS ALBUM IS MY MOST PERSONAL WORK YET AND IT FEELS LIKE TAKING IT ON THE ROAD TO CONNECT WITH FANS DIRECTLY IS THE FINAL ACT OF DELIVERING THIS BODY OF WORK.” “WHAT YOU’RE HEARING IS THE DESTINATION, BUT GETTING HERE FELT LIKE AN ODYSSEY SOME RITE OF PASSAGE THAT I COULDN’T GO AROUND, COULDN’T GO OVER, AND COULDN’T GO UNDER, I HAD TO GO THROUGH. The album takes listeners through an emotional sonic landscape, mirroring the frustrations, vulnerabilities, joys and tensions of modern life that have shaped the last four years for John Butler. THIS IS THE STORY OF HOW I FOUND MY BEST FRIEND AND PARTNER, OUT IN A SMALL TOWN IN THE MIDDLE OF NOWHERE, IN A WORLD OF 7 BILLION PEOPLE,” SAID JOHN BUTLER. “JUST CALL’ IS AN EARNEST LOVE SONG I'VE HAD FOR 13 YEARS WHICH I WAS FINALLY ABLE TO FINISH IN THESE SESSIONS. Fans will hear the head-turning first single from the record, also titled ‘Home’, as well as brand new single ‘Just Call’, released today with a stunning video that adds clarity to the puzzle revealed with HOME. It will be coupled with the hits that have made him the highest-selling independent artist of all time, such as ‘Zebra’, ‘Better Than’, and ‘Ocean’. John Butler Trio’s first album in four years, HOME, is out in just two weeks’ time (28 Sep through Jarrah Records), and will be brought to life across some of Australia’s most celebrated venues like the Sydney Opera House Forecourt and the Sidney Myer Music Bowl. Since those days, John and Missy have become Australian musical icons, performing at numerous benefit gigs together and standing side-by-side in several environmental campaigns, but this will be their first national tour together in nearly 15 years. They won their first ARIA Awards as Best Male and Best Female artists in 20 respectively, and even shared their first Rolling Stone cover together. ![]() Missy was supporting John at Sydney’s Hordern Pavillion the night that her debut hit ‘Scar’ went to #1, and a few months later they were pivotal early drivers of the Wave Aid tsunami benefit show at the SCG. The tour’s name reflects both the title of John’s imminent new album, and the fact that it will finally reunite two artists whose early careers were closely intertwined. Frontier Touring are beyond excited to reveal that Aussie music icons John Butler Trio and Missy Higgins will be joining forces in January and February for the Coming Home Tour.
